Hi,

I have a table of data with products as columns and flavors as rows with certain values. and I need output without duplicate columns and summation of all the values, when I give input file my duplicate columns are named as Ice cream1, Ice cream2 so on.. whereas they are same columns. Si I need  consolidated values with out duplicate rows and columns..

Hey @Ayaanarjun-5885,

Here is one approach:

Transpose the columns for each category into one rename them the same then crosstab it back summing the same named columns together.

This solution uses the transpose and cross tab tools which can be hard to understand to new users. I would recommend checking out the community Getting-Started-Learning-Path for some context on how they work: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Learning-Paths/Getting-Started-Learning-Path/ta-p/475117#done

Any questions or issues please ask
